Oh, that I have done.

I have seen that on some of my Voyagers as well. It was my assumption that they double-shot in the same color (so as to make the original label nearly invisible) and then merely printed or painted the desired final label on.

From what Bob is saying about, they were actually triple-shot, though. Is that right? How? I'm trying to envision what the mold would look like. There's an injection molding guru engineer where I work. I should probably ask his opinion as well.

Has anyone ever cross-sectioned (cut open) a double-shot key (any double-shot key... not necessarily one of these "triple" ones)? How deep does the label go?
